Dilip Ghosh's early life
Ghosh was born in the village of Kuliana near Gopiballavpur of West Medinipur district, West Bengal. Born to Bholanath Ghosh and Puspalata Ghosh, he is the second of four sons. After completing his schooling, he did a diploma course in engineering from a polytechnic college in Jhargram, according to the affidavit filed with the Election Commission of India. However, a case was filed in the Calcutta High Court regarding his education claims in the affidavit, which the Court dismissed. The Court said public interest litigations cannot be filed regarding a person’s educational qualifications. Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar Polytechnic, which is the only polytechnic college in the area, maintains that the BJP leader did not pass the diploma from the college between 1975 and 1990.
